Work that glam hippy vibe

Immortalised by Jimi Hendrix riffs, and the rumoured destination for Kate Moss’ hen party, the Isle of Wight Festival is perfectly on-trend for this summer’s 1970s’ mood. But how to work the trend without looking like a drop-out hippy?

We recommend teaming statement vintage and vintage-style pieces with basic separates to keep the look retro-modern. A maxi dress is a prerequisite, and a few dressing-up-box-worthy options – from prom dresses to embellished opera jackets - will add to the fun of the festival.

Read on to see our favourite ‘70s-inspired festival fashion.
